An all-female delegation will lead the Team Philippines during the parade of nations in the opening ceremony of the 32nd Southeast Asian Games (SEAG) in Phnom Penh, Cambodia on May 5.

Philippine Olympic Committee President Rep. Abraham Tolentino said this will be a first in history that an all-female delegation will represent a country during the parade.

“This will be a first in SEA Games history as Team Philippines will be represented by an all-women delegation in the parade,” Tolentino said on Friday, April 28.

The delegation will consist of 50 Filipina athletes, POC President Tolentino, Team Philippines chef de mission Chito Loyzaga, and the flag bearer whose identity has yet to be revealed.

The opening ceremony will be held at the 60,000-seat Morodok Techo Stadium in Phnom Penh, Cambodia. -ag
